Topic: A Tale of Two Sisters

I would like to take the time to mention what I think is the best Asain horror film around: A Tale of Two Sisters. it is an extremly tense, atmospherical film that plays out more like dark poetry than a movie. It is one of best cinematography efforts you will ever see in a horror film and relies a lot on sound effects and music to set a creepy tone. If you have never seen it get out and see it before they ruin it with the upcoming american remake. For those who want to read more of my thoughts on it, check out my full review. http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_reviews_2663.htm

Rosemary's Baby has always impressed me with its build to impending doom w/ no FX (unless you count the goat head mask) and no gore. Rosemary's paranoia and crawl to madness feels so plausible and legitimate that it makes me worry about real evil in the world.i do love the in your face blood, guts and gore of a lot horror flicks. but sometimes less is truly more like in the case of Rosemary's Baby and A Tale of Two Sisters.

You hit the nail on the head there Hybrid. Thats exactly why I have a love for Rosemary's Baby as well as A Tale of Two Sisters.

Another one that I haven't seen yet, A Tale of Two Sisters, really gotta get that one. I agree with both of you on Rosemary's Baby, great movie. The feel of the movie is intense without all the gore, just watching what she is going through. Still creepy and scary to me after all these years.

Re: A Tale of Two Sisters

Never been much of a fan of Rosemary's Baby.. Don't know it just never really made much of an impact on me.. It reminds me of the same thing with The Exorcist.. Neither film really lives up to the pedestal that so many people put them on.. But I do have to say that A Tale of Two Sisters is by far one of my favorite Asian films of all time..

ATTENTION SPOILERS:

Ok I am confused at the ending to this last night. Did Su-mi really kill her sister or did the mom hang herself and the closet really fall on top of Su-yeon and suffocated her? Why is Su-mi so messed up......cause she feels guilty that her sister died or that she herself murdered her?

Also, what is up with the dead woman who looks like she drowned?

The last 20-30 minutes of this film was comfusing.

And that girl who was having a seizure on the floor saw a dead girl under the sink?:/
